As Excite evolves, the mission stays the same: amplifying young talent and opening doors to international touring. Now in its 16th year, the network thrives on a simple yet brilliant concept—cross-border exchange between artists, festivals, and industry.
Change is part of growth, and Excite has seen some shifts in its membership this year. While Norway, Finland, and Scotland have stepped away, we’re excited to welcome Wales and Ukraine into the fold. With fresh energy and perspectives, the network remains as committed as ever to providing emerging artists with meaningful live opportunities, accelerating their touring experience, and expanding their fan base across borders.
At its heart, Excite is about creating real opportunities for young talent, ensuring they get in front of the right audiences at the right time. With a strong collective of partners, the work continues—louder and more focused than ever.
